[Enchilada645]

Honestly, watching this movie again was a real treat. It had a bunch of fun action shots, and while it's not my favorite of the "All Riders team up to fight together" movies that they start doing, it's still has some fun moments. And hey we finally get our Hibiki Kamen Ride! They were saving it for the movie!

In terms of the emotional core of the movie, it is rather sudden given we've had zero buildup to Sayo aside from the picture from the Amazon two-parter, but I rather enjoyed the short bits of stuff she had with Tsukasa.

Also there's a lot of little things you can catch on a rewatch, like Tsukikage being framed next to a moon in the daytime. Speaking of that, I was like "Oh yeah this dude's Shadow Moon, right? Clever Toei.". I was not expecting when he's like "I am Shadow Moon" for TV-Nihon to pop up with a translation note that said "Tsukikage means Moon Shadow". That was a sudden twist that only fansubs could provide and I'm glad I laughed so hard at that.

Also it was fun seeing Gackt show up as AR Riderman. So I'll end with this:



I could never forget you Gackt.
